Berlingo engine stalling

I'm having trouble with my 2010 Citroen Berlingo gasoline. It has about 153k kilometers on it. The check engine light keeps coming on, and the engine stalls sometimes when idling. I scanned it and it shows an error related to incorrect fuel composition. I've checked the air filter, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

I had something similar happen with my Berlingo. I would check the cable and plug connections to the fuel system components. It could be that a defective connection is causing the issue. Is your fuel economy also worse than usual?

Interesting, thanks! Which specific components are you referring to? And yes, now that you mention it, the fuel economy seems to be a bit worse than normal. Is it possible that wrong fuel is in the tank?

I can't remember exactly which ones, it was a while ago. But yeah, the bad fuel economy rings a bell. I'm no expert, but it might be best to get a workshop to check the fuel mixture and combustion chamber. I hope it's just a faulty connection, it would be way cheaper. In my case, they had to clean some stuff and replace a cable.

Thanks a lot for the info! I'll check the connections as best I can, but it sounds like a trip to the mechanic is in order. They checked the cables and you were right! It only cost me 95€ to fix the defective cable. I really appreciate the help!
